Digby Water Aerodrome

The specific reason for closure is not publicly recorded, which is common for small, privately operated aerodromes. The closure was most likely due to economic factors, such as a lack of sustained demand or the cessation of business by the operator who maintained the registration. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was the result of a major accident, military conversion, or environmental issues.

The site of the former water aerodrome is now simply part of the active Digby Harbour. The coordinates 44.625, -65.745 place it in the water directly off the Digby waterfront. This area is a busy, multi-use marine environment. It is heavily used by a large commercial fishing fleet (famous for Digby scallops), the Bay Ferries Limited's large vehicle and passenger ferry (MV Fundy Rose) which docks nearby, and numerous pleasure craft and yachts that use the Digby Marina. There are no longer any dedicated or marked facilities for seaplanes, and it is not a registered landing site.

Digby Water Aerodrome was a registered water landing area located in the Annapolis Basin, directly adjacent to the town of Digby's waterfront. It was not a large, staffed facility but rather a designated landing and takeoff zone on the water for seaplanes. Its primary purpose was likely to support general aviation, private aircraft, and potentially small-scale commercial charter operations. Operations would have catered to tourism, offering scenic flights over the famous Digby Gut and the Bay of Fundy, or providing charter access for recreational purposes. The aerodrome operated under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and utilized the naturally sheltered waters of the basin, with probable access to the Digby Marina or Fisherman's Wharf for docking and passenger handling.

There are currently no known official plans or publicly discussed prospects for reopening a registered water aerodrome at this specific location. Any proposal to do so would face significant challenges due to the high volume of existing marine traffic, including the large ferry, fishing vessels, and pleasure boats, which creates a complex and potentially hazardous environment for seaplane operations. The logistical and safety considerations of deconflicting air and sea traffic in the busy harbour make reopening unlikely in the near future.
